Movers Took It All
Well, yesterday the movers came and went and boy was that strange. I had enough time to get up, finish the house and hubby came home just before 8a.m. to be there for them so I wouldn’t have to be alone. Yes, after those two guys 
tried coming into the house I’ve been a bit edgy. The movers got there just after 8a.m. and began packing up the house.
My Book Collection: I don’t really know how many boxes were filled with just my books, but I do know they were constantly telling me I had a large collection. One point they had to order more book boxes because they came up short. One guy had thought we’d have very little in the basement so he called that room to pack up, he was down there for MANY hours. Needless to say they had to help him pack. When they were finally done they decided to kill two birds with one stone and asked if we’d mind them loading it into the movers van at that point instead of coming back. We said go for it.
This may have been a mistake. Why? Simple, it took even more hours because we had storms a brewing which actually happened. Each time it rained, it poured and kept them longer. Finally, it was some time past 8 pm when they left and we went to the hotel. Either way, it was finally done, now we only had to clean it. Boy do I have tips for this.
1. make sure you have everything you are taking with you in an area they won’t touch.
2. they will take everything….including trash.
3. once they get tired, they no longer take everything and if it is off to a corner they may forget it. (my sewing machine, errr)
Today, kids and I went back to the house and cleaned the counters, swept the floors and ran the vacuum. We are now back in hotels and will be at our current hotel for about 30 days. So expect a lot of tips for hotels.
Sounds like an exhausting day. I’m glad you got packed up finally. We lost our cookie sheets one time when we moved. It’s good you saw that they missed your sewing machine!
Would it be ok if I borrowed a bit of your template design for my own forum? I’ve found it’s nicer to ask than steal! Let me know!
@Lawncare Honestly the template is a wordpress one, not my own. Sorry I can’t be of much help.
